Sertoli Cell Biology, Second Edition summarizes the progress since the last edition and emphasizes the new information available on Sertoli/germ cell interactions. This information is especially timely since the progress in the past few years has been exceptional and it relates to control of sperm production in vivo and in vitro. Fully revisedWritten by experts in the fieldSummarizes 10 years of researchContains clear explanations and summaries Provides a summary of references over the last 10 years INDICE: PrefaceSertoli cell anatomy and cytoskeletonFetal Sertoli cellsEarly postnatal interactions between Sertoli and germ cellsStem cell NicheRole of DMRT1Hormonal regulation of spermatogenesis through Sertoli cells- TestosteroneActivins and inhibinsInitiation of spermatogenesis and the cycle of the seminiferous epitheliumRetinoic acid metabolism and the cycle of the seminiferous epitheliumSertoli cell specific transcription and the Sertoli cell cycleMicro-RNA and spermatogenesisLarge noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and lncRNA-mediated epigenetic regulationBiochemistry of Sertoli-Germ cell junctions, spermiation and movement of germ cells across the barrierImmunology of the TestisDiversity and similarities in Sertoli cells from different speciesHuman Sertoli cells and the SCO syndromeGene Knockouts that affect Sertoli cell function
